“Serving The Industry For More Than Fifty Years”

AF&PA Reports On Recycling, Capacity reported by Greg Kishbaugh T he American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA) announced 66.2 percent of paper consumed in the United States was recovered for recycling in 2019.Over the last decade,the U.S. paper industry achieved a consistently

Campbell Announces Sustainability Goals Campbell Soup Company announced new packaging sustainability goals to re- duce packaging waste by increasing circu- larity—keeping materials in use and out of landfills.The four goals are designed to address all phases of the packaging lifecy- cle, from sourcing to end-of-life, including recycling or composting. The holistic approach aims to reduce packaging waste through investments in recyclability, use of recycled content, and consumer education and infrastructure with the following four goals: • Transition 100 percent of packaging to recyclable or industrially compostable designs and materials by 2030. •Increase the use of post-consumer re- cycled content and incorporate 25 per- cent post-consumer recycled content into polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottles by 2030. •Drive increases in recycling rates through standardized on-pack labeling by including the How2Recycle label on 100 percent of packaging by 2022. •Expand access to recycling and ad- vance the development of infrastructure to improve the collection and recycling

high recycling rate, meeting or ex- ceeding 63 percent since 2009 — a rate that’s nearly doubled since 1990, when the indus- try first set a paper recycling

goal. The recycling rate for old corrugated containers (OCC) in 2019 was 92.0 percent, and the three-year average OCC recycling rate is 92.3 percent. “Paper recycling contin-

ues to be an environmen- tal success story,” said AF&PA President and CEO Heidi Brock. “More than twice as much paper is recycled than is sent to landfills, saving an average of 3.3 cubic yards of landfill space

for each ton of paper recycled.This is a testament to consumer behav- ior and an industry commitment to paper recycling.AF&PA members continue to invest in manufacturing infrastructure that will allow us to recycle even more paper in the years ahead.” Paper Capacity In addition, the AF&PA has released its 60th Annual Survey of Pa- per, Paperboard and Pulp Capacity.The trade group found that while overall paper and paperboard capacity in the United States declined by 0.5 percent in 2019, some sectors rose, including tissue paper, con- tainerboard and boxboard.

ProAmpac Joins Association Of Plastic Recyclers ProAmpac has joined The Association of Plastic Recyclers (APR), a trade association representing companies respon- sible for more than 90 percent of the post-consumer plas- tic processing capacity in North America.APR works to set standards and enhance the quality and quantity of recycled materials through technology, testing, design, and training. Through education and collaboration with APR and its members, ProAmpac is continuing to progress its ProActive Sustainability platform towards a more circular economy. Vinyl Sustainability Council Issues Sustainable Report The Vinyl Sustainability Council (VSC) said some 1.1 billion pounds (550,000 tons) of the polymer material is diverted from landfills annually in the United States and Canada.The council did not provide a diversion percentage figure attached to the 550,000-ton volume figure. “Post-consumer recycling contributes roughly 15 percent,and this number has grown 40 percent since 2014,”said the council. In its 2019 Our Sustainable Journey report, the council said its Landfill Diversion Task Force “is focused on further reducing the amount of vinyl reaching the landfill by in- creasing the percentage of post-consumer vinyl recycled. The task force is composed of VSC members, allied trade organizations, and recyclers.”

Tissue paper capacity rose 0.6 percent in 2019, match- ing a 10-year growth trend from 2010 to 2019. In 2019 and 2020, seven new tissue paper machines have been or will be started, with tissue capacity thus projected to exceed the decade’s modest average growth, increasing 3.5 percent in 2020. Paper’s share of overall mill capacity (compared with board) dropped from 44 percent in 2009 to 34 percent in 2019, as newsprint and printing and writing paper capaci- ties continued to decline.Those declines “more than offset” the gains in tissue paper capacity, said AF&PA. Several machines producing communication paper grades have been permanently closed or converted to the production of containerboard and packaging papers, added the association. Containerboard capacity increased 1.5 percent in 2019, reaching a record 40.3 million tons.AF&PA said it marks the ninth consecutive annual increase in containerboard capac- ity.“As a result, containerboard accounted for 48.6 percent of U.S. paper and paperboard capacity in 2019, up from 39.3 percent in 2009,” stated the group. Komptech, Plexus Recycling Appoint President Denver-based Komptech Americas and Plexus Recycling Technologies have appointed Brandon Lapsys as President of both organizations.Marcel Vallen previously held this po- sition; he left the company in April. Prior to taking on this position, Lapsys served in many roles at KomptechAmericas. Lapsys has played a key role in the evolution of the Komptech Americas business, oversee- ing the company’s day-to-day operations and direction of senior staff since 2008. Lapsys also helped with the launch of the Plexus Recycling Technologies business in 2016. Moving forward, Lapsys will continue to be based at the company’s headquarters in Denver, Colorado. In addition to his role as President, he also currently serves on the board of directors for the Construction & Demolition Recycling Association (CDRA),where he was named C&D Member of the Year in March. San Diego To Spend $33M In New Hauling Contracts San Diego, California, is agreeing to new five-year contracts totaling more than $33 million for equipment needed to haul residential trash to Miramar Landfill and to compact the waste once it’s there, reportedThe San Diego Union-Tribune. The City Council is scheduled to approve a $28.8 million contract for five track-type bulldozers, two landfill com- pactors, two wheel-tractor scrapers, one excavator, one wheel dozer and one compact track loader.The bulldozer contract,which is with San Diego-based Hawthorn Machin- ery Co., includes $50,000 per year for repairing damage to equipment caused by the harsh operating conditions at the landfill, city officials said.

Casella Reports Revenue Increase For Q1

Casella Waste Systems Inc., Rutland, Vermont, has an- nounced its financial results for the first quarter of 2020. The company reported revenues were $182.9 million for the quarter, which was up $19.2 million, or 11.8 percent, from the same period in 2019. “Our solid waste pricing programs were ahead of budget as we advanced 5.2 percent pricing in the collection line- of-business and 10.1 percent pricing at the landfills, with overall solid waste price increasing by 5.8 percent,” Casella chairman and CEO John Casella said.“Solid waste volumes were down 2.7 percent in the quarter, as we continued to focus on shedding unprofitable work, advancing pricing in excess of inflation and we began to experience early nega- tive volume impacts from COVID-19 as the shelter-in-place orders forced businesses to close and construction to come to a halt.” Overall solid waste pricing for the quarter was up 5.8 per- cent, driven by robust collection pricing, which was up 5.2 percent, and strong disposal pricing, up 7.7 percent, from the same period in 2019. Net income was $1 million for the quarter, up $2.7 million from the same period in 2019. Adjusted net income was $2.5 million for the quarter, up $3 million from the same period in 2019. Adjusted EBITDA was $33.5 million for the quarter, up $6.9 million, or up 25.9 percent, from the same period in 2019.

San Diego Sees Nearly 20% Recycling Collection Spike San Diego waste haulers have seen an 18 percent spike for trash, a 19 percent spike for recycling and a 17 percent increase for green waste during the COVID-19 pandemic, reported the San Diego Union-Tribune . City officials compared a 40-day period from March 23 to May 1 this year to a similar period in 2019. During the 40 days in 2019, city haulers picked up 38,820 tons of trash, 7,236 tons of recycling and 5,562 tons of green waste. During the 40 days this year, they’ve picked up 45,735 tons of trash, 8,591 tons of recycling and 6,480 tons of green waste. Michelin Invests In Canadian Plastic Recycling Firm Montreal-based Pyrowave,which describes itself as having developed technology allowing for the infinite recycling of plastics, has closed on a second round of investment fund- ing led by global tire producer Michelin. The funding, for an undisclosed amount, will help Pyro- wave add scale and bring its modular microwave-based chemical recycling technology to market, said the firm. In 2018, Michelin acquired United States-based Lehigh Technologies, and has subsequently invested to bring that firm’s scrap tires-to-micronized rubber powder (MRP) pro- cess to Europe.

Industry Associations Partner To Study MRF Fires Several industry associations have partnered to study the causes and frequency of material recovery facility (MRF) fires in the United States, including the Institute of Scrap Recycling Industries (ISRI),Washington; the Environmental Research & Education Foundation (EREF), Raleigh, North Carolina; National Waste & Recycling Association (NWRA), Arlington,Virginia; and the SolidWaste Association of North America (SWANA), Silver Spring, Maryland. The objective of the study is to compile information that summarizes the following information about fires at MRFs and scrap recycling facilities and in collection vehicles: • frequency of MRF and scrap recycling fires annually; • frequency of collection vehicle fires; • suspected causes of these fires; • strategies and technologies used to fight these fires; • damage caused by these fires (e.g., property, personnel injuries or death and lost operating revenue); • preventive measures taken to minimize the potential for fires; and • likelihood that lithium-ion batteries disposed of at MRFs or scrap yards caused a fire. GFL Environmental Plans for Acquisitions Toronto, Ontario-based GFL Environmental Inc., a North American provider of diversified environmental solu- tions, raised $1.4 billion in its IPO in March.And now the company has its eye on acquisition opportunities over the next three to six months, in the wake of the corona- virus pandemic. Minnesota To Award $400,000 In Recycling Grants The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), St. Paul, Minnesota, plans to award a total of $400,000 in grants de- signed to help create a strong, sustainable market for recy- clable materials. The MPCA will award grants in amounts from $50,000 to $250,000 to Minnesota businesses or or- ganizations that use recyclable materials in their products. The goal of the grants is to help increase both demand for and value of recyclable materials, while also keeping items out of landfills and creating jobs in Minnesota. In recent years, the recycling industry has supported more than 60,000 jobs and more than $3.4 billion in wages in the state of Minnesota. But in the wake of China’s restrictions on importing recyclables from the United States, recycling markets are fragile, MPCA reported. The state’s Recycling Market Development Grants program was approved by Min- nesota Legislature in 2019 to ensure the recycling market remains strong and is able to protect jobs. Proposals are primarily being sought for new commercial uses of mixed paper, glass and organics. However, other ideas, including for plastics,paint and construction products will be considered.

of packaging by building and investing in partnerships with peers and industry groups. Campbell has made significant progress recently in reduc- ing waste and encouraging recycling: In 2019, V8 V-Fusion and V8 Blends multi-serve bottles switched from shrink sleeve labels to wrap labels, allowing the bottles to be easily sorted and recycled in municipal recycling processes. In 2019, Kettle Brand redesigned their chip bags, result- ing in a 43 percent reduction in plastic and reducing the amount of plastic to landfill by two million pounds per year. Campbell has already implemented How2Recycle instruc- tions on many labels and will continue to roll out on addi- tional packaging until 100 percent of packaging includes recycling instructions by 2022. CEPI Sets Out EU Trade Position The Confederation of European Paper Industries (CEPI) has called for any future agreement between the UK and the EU to support the existing trade flow of paper for recycling. The pan-European association representing the forest fi- bre and paper industry said post-Brexit the EU and the UK will become each other’s biggest trading partners in terms of pulp, paper and paper for recycling. CEPI said around 8.1 million tons of pulp,paper for recycling, paper and converted paper products are traded each year be- tween the EU and the UK,with a value of 7.3 billion Euros. In a paper stating its position CEPI said:“Today, around 1.2 million tons of paper for recycling are traded each year be- tween the United Kingdom and the EU27.This circular and sustainable trade flow is a critical part of consumer con- fidence in recycling infrastructure and must be supported post-Brexit. The EU and the UK have impressive recycling rates, respectively 71.3 percent and 87.2 percent. The EU, as part of its Green Deal and its Circular Economy Strategy, and the UK, as part of itsWaste and Resources Strategy, have ambitious recycling targets. “It is essential to maintain a vibrant paper recycling infra- structure and avoid unnecessary friction on paper for recy- cling with existing clear specifications and existing arrange- ments for paper recycling movements.” Covanta CEO Reports Q1 Performance Covanta Holding Corporation,Morristown, New Jersey, re- leased its first quarter earnings.The company reported Q1 revenue of $468 million, which was up from $453 million in Q1 2019.Adjusted EBITDA was $97 million for the quar- ter, up from $84 million in Q1 2019. Net cash provided by operating activities was $61 million, up from $37 million in the same period the previous year. Free cash flow was $19 million for the quarter, up from $6 million in Q1 2019. Final- ly, the company noted its tip fee prices were up 5 percent on a same-store basis and profiled waste revenue was up 18 percent in the quarter. Campbell Sustainability (Cont’d from Page 1)

ISRI Talks International Trade

Buyer’s Guide

Adina Renee Adler ISRI VP of Advocacy

In what ways have countries changed their trade policies and/or regulations that affect scrap trade in response to the coronavirus? Countries rightly have had to prioritize the health and wel- fare of their people, and for most countries that means ensur- ing they get the food and medical supplies they need from overseas sources if they don’t have them at home. So while in some regions, such as North America and Europe, recycling was deemed essential, governments are relaxing certain trade policies to make it easier to import food and medical goods but leaving in place tariff and non-tariff barriers on other products. In Asia, it has been a mixed response in terms of designating recycling as essential, so while trade policies are not being used, the sudden lack of purchasing in these regions has had a serious impact on scrap exporters. India is where we have seen the most disruption.The national lockdown there closed all recycling operations and most manufacturing, and ports re- mained open for food and medical goods only. Has ISRI objected to any of the changes on behalf of members? We have not objected to COVID-related measures, but we have interceded on a few occasions to ensure the situation is made easier for our members. For example, ISRI sent let- ters to senior Indian government officials appealing for a relaxation of storage, demurrage and other port fees until the time when our customers can claim containers. In Indo- nesia, new import regulations announced in late 2019 are being implemented without clear guidance, so we sent let- ters to several government ministers there asking them to put this guidance into writing. How have the trade policy/regulatory changes af- fected ISRI members who export scrap? A lack of clarity in the policy and regulatory changes cre- ates challenges for our members trying to comply with these regulations, which can create uncertainties and discourage trade.We are doing our best to know what the obligations are for exporters and to provide guidance to our members that ask us for it. Do you expect countries to impose other corona- virus-related restrictions on scrap shipments in the coming months? I don’t expect policies that directly target scrap, but I think we’ll have to keep a close eye on a couple of points: How will manufacturers realign supply chains at the behest of government leaders putting pressure on them to source more at home? And how will certain governments require a “green recovery” that may affect trade, such as in Europe with its Green Deal and Circular Economy policies? Will these coronavirus-related changes alter the in- ternational scrap trade in fundamental ways in the longer term? Anything is possible. If supply chains and purchasing be- havior shift, we could see the impacts of those changes for many years to come.
